Creativity Corner

I am the forest gecko. Blazing through the woods I go. Freckled I am as I change color. Crickets fear me as I gulp them. As puny as I am, I still hunt prey. I appear to look exotic. I always gulp my target. I can be as green as grass. As quick as I am, I can still get devoured.

My New School

Rishabh, 7

Porter Ranch Community School

Porter Ranch

My new school is really cool — with friends to make and hands to shake.

Under the sun, let's have some fun. Play around and bounce balls on the ground. Then stand in line, Wow! The day was fine. Time to go, everybody is running to and fro. These are the things I did on my first day at school, really cool!

Terinia

Whitney, 11

Willow Academy

Van Nuys

Terinia was created when Casey Shunpike fell asleep in her backyard. A giant branch with pink flowers tapped her on the shoulder. "You have to name me," said the tree. "Well, you make me think. So I will call you Thinking Spot," Casey laughed. "Tell me, what is this land called?" asked Casey. "It has no name," replied Thinking Spot."

I think I will call this land Terinia," Casey proclaimed. All of a sudden, a bright light hit her. "And I am no longer Casey. I am Ivory, Queen of Terinia."

Flying With Fairies

Sydney, 9

Oak Creek Elementary

Irvine

Swoosh! I glide and slide with my fairy friends, up in the sky, flying up high.

There isn't a dare that we can't do on rollercoaster clouds in a sky of blue.

Brushing across my face is the great timid wind. She spins and twirls around me, her dress of leaves rustling.

We soar and explore our amazing world as we love to do. How fun it is to fly with fairies!
